Sandi said...

Thanks for the new thread Steve. Hope this one doesn't "break!" Thanks Megan for the call over. I posted this on the old thread and then saw, after I hit publish, that there was a new one, so I'm bringing my post with me:

Hi all, I'm back - I was able to fall back to sleep pretty easily on the sofa with Bella curled up next to me! Easy school day today - 30 minute classes!!

Jewels, when did your kids go back to school in August to get out so early??

Hoping Lynn has a good day today.

Thinking of Sharon today also. ♥

Lynne2, good to hear that Steve is headed home - I know you've really missed him.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good morning. For some reason, I thought I was going to be able to get out of bed and come downstairs this morning without crying. Didn't happen.

Thanks everyone so much for all your love!

floralgirl said...

Shep just flew in, I think he brought another fish, Belle took it and is gonna feed the chicks. Good morning :)

Lori O. said...

Thanks for the new thread alert, Megan!

Thank you, Steve, for the new thread. :)

Hope you're feeling better, get rid of that headache, GLO.

LYNNE2, your Stubby will be home soon!

LYNN, wondering if your week off from chemo is giving you your pep back? ♥

Sandi said...

Shep poofed. Belle is feeding. Very easy to see the difference in size between A and B, the way they are sitting this morning.

Sandi said...

Camera shakes. Must be Shep b/c Belle looked up but went right back to feeding.

T-Bird said...

Do over-JudyE was great JudyE.

T-Bird said...

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, that poop shoot by big one went out of the nest!!

Good Morning More Eagle Pals

magpie said...

Oh

Stunning.....cheerful !!!

hedgie said...

A little bickering or beakering??!! TOo cute.

magpie said...

Hello SHEP
It's YOUR Turn,
show us your stuff !

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle eating on the launch pad

grannyblt said...

GM all. I think I saw the gills move on that newest fish that Shep is eating and not feeding the children

hedgie said...

Dad returns and wiggles in/on.

hedgie said...

Lynne1---you must have super eyes!!! I never would have noticed!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

He did dig up an old fish and take it to about the 5:30 position. I was hoping he was going to throw it overboard but he didn't. What a mess that nest is. *Banging on the door - HOUSEKEEPING!!!!*

grannyblt said...

Has anyone ever seen a nest with so many partially eaten fish?

grannyblt said...

re/gills -- it was right after he flew in with it. Maybe my imagination.lol

grannyblt said...

My cam has timed out and so have I. Hope everyone has a great day.

magpie said...

I never have seen a nest with so many fish, Lynne....
....gave a good day....
I saw the tail wiggle not the gills, neat ! I couldnt get close enough to the screen...

magpie said...

Jo
when you are here:
thank you for the link you posted yesterday
the news article that Mits sent to you...
very fascinating, and the pictures were amazing....

magpie said...

and I HAVE to return to my work stuff now...

ttfn xoxox
Good Day, Eagle Pals


(( Hugs All Day Long, Sharon ♥ ))

paula eagleholic said...

Shep eating at the launch pad...good, we need some of those fish out of the nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Shep looking directly above

One chick awake, the other is passed out

paula eagleholic said...

Shep off

paula eagleholic said...

Big clunk

Lolly said...

Good morning! See that Shep is not feeding the babes this morning!

Rained all night here. Has let up here on the west side of the metroplex. Jack is checking the rain gauge. We are guessing 3 inches or more. This is going to be so great for the lakes. Wahooo! But, of course, part of our back yard is a lake, too! Yuk!

Lolly said...

Rain total.....ta da....3.6. Wow!

Mema Jo said...

Here I am - Held my breath until I saw
email from Paula that the blog was up!
Oh happy day!
You're welcome Margy - When I opened the
article the picture of the eagles' head
my first thought was Dr Sharpe with his
hand puppet feeding the eaglets.
We had storms - lights went off once before the blog went down.

It is Spring & my allergies say it is true...

Lolly said...

Allergies here, too, Jo! My eyes are killing me! They itch! I was using eye drops for allergies, but stopped as I thought I was doing okay. Need to ask the eye doctor for another prescription.

Lynne2 said...

Just checking to see if we are here today!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Powerful poop shoots, right out of the nest.

hedgie said...

Good morning Jo and Lolly. Guess we are ALL wet!!!!

Babies awake again.....and alone.

Lolly said...

Yes, not only are we wet but we are chilly, too! 52!

hedgie said...

Mits had sent me that story yesterday, and it was interesting, but I thought the photo was inappropriate. :(

hedgie said...

More fluff!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle in with fluff..it's Shep

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Shep back with flugg.

Lolly said...

And, good morning to you, Lynn!

Just was on the phone with Laurel. We are NOT going to the zoo today. LOL Instead, they are coming here tomorrow afternoon and we are heading to the zoo Thursday morning. We have promised the boys ribs for dinner tomorrow.

All an eagle with more flugg? Looks like Shep.

hedgie said...

62° here, Lolly, but damp-chilly.

hedgie said...

Have I mentioned how much I love these PB Cheerios? Just ate a second breakfast so I could have some!!!

Lolly said...

Shep is back to chowing down!

Lolly said...

Good on you, Lynn! I really can not imagine PB cheerios, but then we eat pb ice cream! I just love my vanilla flavored granola in the morning. Crave it!

Mema Jo said...

Going to check email and FB
I am waiting for Kristen's arrival
It's Tues....All 3 new TV shows!!

I don't see any parent attending to our
babies

Sharon - Love and Hugs

Mema Jo said...

Yep there is Shep chowing down.

Lolly said...

Wow, Lynn, we are cooler than you.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning to All.

See I missed Bev's Birthday..HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BEV

Lynn those PB Cheerios are addicting lol

Lolly said...

Time for reading the paper.

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Shep eating with his back to the chicks.

I saw that article on the Metro eagle, but hadn't read it yet...interesting

paula eagleholic said...

Chicklet is still watching Shep eat

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Shep, I think the chick wants some fish!

Lolly said...

I guess he is feeding the chick.

paula eagleholic said...

Shep is beak to beak with chicklet...so cute.

Lolly said...

What is he doing? Beaking with the chick?

Lolly said...

Is there a fish to Shep's left that we can not see?

DanaMo said...

Kids are at specials for 15 more minutes so I have time to check in.
Looks like Shep is feeding the little ones.

DanaMo said...

aw...sweet

wvgal_dana said...

Is Shep feedding the chick?

Mema Jo said...

Good morning there my friend, Lynn ♥

Kristen is here and I am catching up
on my kids....

BBL

Mema Jo said...

Now I think Shep is feeding the chick that was about to climb out of the egg cup and attack his dad......... lol

wvgal_dana said...

So cute how Shep goes to the chicks.

magpie said...

waiting to see that second chick in the cup move a little

paula eagleholic said...

I think he was just beaking with the chick...don't recall a fish over there

2nd chick is fine, Margy

Sandi said...

Margy, you scared me for a minute there with that last comment. I knew that both were fine when I left for school this AM. #2 is up and at 'em right now!

paula eagleholic said...

Shep feeding the chicks now

paula eagleholic said...

Belle back!

Maybe we will see a double feeding

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Oh my, they are both feeding the babies!!!!!! How beautiful is that!

magpie said...

Oh this is a Joyful Event....

I see two Royal Parents each feeding one Royal Baby...


as some of you do also...

xo ☺

Lolly said...

This is just too awesome. The family dining together. Belle feeding once chick and Shep feeding the other. God is good!!!

Sandi said...

Woah - Belle feeding one, Shep feeding one!! HOORAY!!! What a family photo!!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, they are both feeding the chicks, he has the oldest, she has the youngest

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hey Glo - both are feeding the chicks at the same time. You might not have to worry about the little one not getting fed! :)

Sandi said...

And soft eagle talk, too! ♥ this!!

magpie said...

okay
understand
did not mean to scare anyone
i was scared and didn't want to be scared alone
sorry

You felt it in bones the Double Feeding about to happen

paula eagleholic said...

Good, Little Bit is gonna get stuffed...Belle is so much quicker than Shep, LOL, but he's doing a fine job

Lolly said...

I was busy on fb, watching the video of the big surprise. I felt like I was there. Thanks Capt Father Gene for getting a fantastic video.

paula eagleholic said...

It's OK Margy!

Lolly said...

Wish Shep did not have his back to us. Love the little chirps!

hedgie said...

Having another DUH moment.......T-BIRD: who is Lillian???

paula eagleholic said...

Look at the crop on the little one...thought he was gonna poop shoot on Belle the way he turned around

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon sorry for your losses. I've lite a candle for you ♥

wvgal_dana said...

This is so wonderful to see.

Both parents feeding each chick. (:

Lolly said...

What is Belle doing???

paula eagleholic said...

Shep off to the left...Belle trying to cover up 2 stuffed chicklets.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Lillian is the cat, Hedgie!

Lolly said...

Looks like she was trying to walk between the two chicks. Okay, now she attempting to cover them, but not doing a very good job. LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Very happy Charlies is doing good. I give the thanks for Carolyn!!!!

Tori is making good on that rehab could be home by end of month
WOW!!

magpie said...

LOL
I was thinking the parents might lie down side by side, each on one chick....
oh well maybe another time ☺

Joyous to share this with you Eagle Pals...
and now back to the other work duties here

xox

Costume Lady said...

How wonderful to check in on the nest and see BOTH parents feeding the chicklets. Made my day! All's right with the world (for now)!

Getting ready to head into Soup Kitchen...
CHILI AND CHILI DOGS
RICE
MEXICAN CORN/RED PEPPERS
CORN BREAD
DRINKS
Several garbage bags of clothing, etc. was put in the closet Sunday...don't know what is in them, but hope they are not wrinkled!

Have a good day♥

grannyblt said...

As usual with me I am a day late and a dollar short. Maybe someone got a video of Belle and Shep feeding the kis.?? I was watching the big surprise. Felt I was there with you all.

hedgie said...

Just watched the video, too, Lolly! So dark in there on a cloudy day!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Shar! Thought so, but wasn't sure!

I love Mexican corn, Wanda!!!! Sounds like a good spread!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Shar! Thought so, but wasn't sure!

I love Mexican corn, Wanda!!!! Sounds like a good spread!

Lolly said...

Soup kitchen menu sounds wonderful!

Lynn, I love seeing you and everyone on the video, but I also loved seeing your sunroom. I am so envious of such a glorious room. It is like living outdoors. We can not have a sun room as it would face west and get way too hot! As it is, in the summer time our covered patio is almost useless except in the morning.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is up looking at all the fish...hmmm. which one to choose? Decisions, decisions.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle finally picked out a fish and is feeding the kids from the back porch

paula eagleholic said...

Lynne1, I got a video of it...will post later and put on the EM blog.

hedgie said...

Carolyn will be here soon to "fix" my Kindle! She said around 1.

hedgie said...

Lucnh time in the nest.

hedgie said...

Getting harder to tell them apart! So alert! AND hungry!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Precious babes are getting fed again.

Lori O. said...

Good afternoon everyone!

Home from work with a fresh cup of decaf in my hand and will be ready for a nap soon!

Lori O. said...

Bummer that I missed both parents feeding both eaglets. Did anyone get a video?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Lori, Paula got a video but hasn't posted it yet.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Poor ole Shep just does not know how to sit still. Always piddling with something.

Lori O. said...

Thanks for the info, Sharon. So happy I'll get to see it.

Lori O. said...

Big hugs for you today, Sharon! You're being loved through it. ♥

glo said...

So very glad to read there was a family feeding. I will hopefully find a video of it later. Getting ready for a nice nap here :-)

paula eagleholic said...

And Shep did that last feeding! He's in the cup, chicks are resting

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I do feel the love Lori. Keeps hitting me in waves! Miss my Mops really bad. I am going to have to watch Scooby closely because they were joined at the hip and I am sure he is going to grieve. I always said they were like an old married couple.

stronghunter said...

Goodafternoon.

hedgie said...

Hi, SHirley and Lori and Glo.

Yep, Shar, the pet partners do grieve, too.

Ready for a nap here, too, Glo and Lori, but waiting for Carolyn! YAWN!

magpie said...

I'll just throw this out because it is so coloful ☺
the Google image for today....

"something for everybody "
first day of Spring ....

wvgal_dana said...

Going to get my hair cut

Mema Jo said...

Off to my Dr appointment
Will check in upon my return
Going to ask about Red's miracle med

BBL

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Shep keeps flapping his wings at something. Red alert.

stronghunter said...

Little ones alone.

stronghunter said...

Oh, no, my mistake. Shep on rails at 9:00.

hedgie said...

Look at these venturers!!!

magpie said...

so....the green stuff at top of nest


"deodorizers ?/ ?

LOL
need a few more probably at bottom of the nest

Lolly said...

Yes, I wish the egg cup was deeper!

Shep just flew in.

Lolly said...

OMG! Shep about squashed a little one.

Lolly said...

You can not keep those two from squirming out. Maybe it has something to do with a shallow egg cup.

Lolly said...

Jack and I just came in from walking around the yard. The brick extension of our patio is covered in mud and water. Big clean up job there. Lots of squishy lawn but sink hole in the front yard. Big ol' hole! Major wash out of a mole tunnel.

Lolly said...

Well, Shep that is one way to keep them under you....step on 'em. Hold them down with those talons. Yikes!

magpie said...

Hi Lolly
You are not really all alone
I just had to work a little bit


and now I have to do that again ☺


imagine, less than one week old
look at those babies go !!

ttfn

Lolly said...

Hi Margy! Just saw video #2 of the Big Surprise. Loved it! Loved Gene's comment about getting you a pole. So funny! Love you, Margy and it was great seeing you!

Linda said...

Good Afternoon. Busy Day!

Is that one of the heads of the chicks under Shep facing us??

I saw when he was stepping on them trying to get them under him.

I agree that the cup is way too shallow. I wish they would dig it deeper and bigger!!

Linda said...

I am hoping that is a leftover piece of fish just at the top of his right right wing...

Linda said...

YIKES!!!!

It is one of the eaglets he
is actually on top of!!!

I saw it move its head..

Amazing how they survive....

I am holding my breath..

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

That is one of the babies under his right wing.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Really grateful to see it move. He has been on it for a while now.

Linda said...

That is downright scarey to me
to watch!!

I think I will say a prayer and
just go back to work!!

Is this normal for Belle to be gone
so much during the day in their
first days?

I thought typically the female rarely leaves the nest the first couple weeks, other than for a short break...

Hoda said...

Good morning/ good aftrnoon everyone.

Thank you for the reports on the feedings.

We have three inches of fresh snow in twon next to the lake and a lot more in Uphill and Rosemont...the ski hill is having a powder day...
HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING

hedgie said...

Howdy, Hoda. Happy first day of sparring to you. What is your weather like?

Sandi said...

Shep is calling out - using his big boy voice!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Shep is not happy with something.

Linda said...

Those chicks can't get out because he is holding them down with his sheer weight!!!!

hedgie said...

Well, Carolyn has me back on the Kindle!! We'll see how far I get this time......

Sandi said...

About squishing the eaglets and the egg cup being too shallow, remember that our perspective is looking down at the nest, which makes depth hard to see.

With regard to what's the norm with the parents and "baby sitting" (which Shep takes very seriously AND very literally), my guess is it's whatever works for each eagle pair. Plus, keep in mind that normally, they would be keeping the chicklets covered up much more right now, regardless of who's on the nest, b/c they can't regulate their body temps! With our unseasonably warm weather, we're all getting to see a lot more of the kids than we normally would.

We know Belle knows what she's doing and Shep is proving to have good instincts.

Sandi said...

Glad Jewels got ya hooked up, Lynn!! There's a learning curve with any new technology!

Linda said...

Yeah, LYNN!

Good Luck!!

Linda said...

I see what you're sayin' Sandi, but I still see those little ones wake up and try to move and "it ain't happenin'"

Hoda said...

I love the video of you all at LYNN'S...AWESOME to see her doing so well with her Kindle...♥

Lolly said...

Well, I think I need to reboot the cam. I was walking when he was doing all the calling and I did not hear one thing. So, I am thinking where is my sound?????

Hoda said...

JO I shared a picture of the snow accumulation, with fresh snow today, on Facebook. It is outside of Nelson but it gives you a good idea of how it looks here too...Never you mind IT IS ALL GOOD...we will not have a high risk of fires when fire season starts...enough moisture this winter I would say...

Hoda said...

Same with me LOLLY I did not hear Shep but the sound is open...he has got the chicklets pinned down!!! oooopppppssss there they are moving again I guess he has not squiched them...I need another cup of tea...

Lolly said...

I have rebooted, but I do not think that is going to help the sound situation. We shall see!

Linda said...

POOF SHEP

hedgie said...

Sandi, I think you have hit it on the head for sure. Whatever works......we can only hope for the best outcome!!

On the Kindle, even tho' the cam pic is small, the crispness and clarity and color is unbelievable!!!!!

Lolly said...

Shep up and gone! Now I want to see both eaglets move. LOL They look healthy enough.

hedgie said...

See how things are really greening up?
Alone again......."naturally" or not!

Linda said...

Two chicks in an MT Nest!

Linda said...

They are going to need a deeper nest if they are going to be left alone!!

Linda said...

Belle returns

hedgie said...

One was up on his feet!!!!

Lolly said...

Very good, Lynn! I have decided the color of your cover is Spring Green. Our trees are leafing out, and they are Spring Green!!

Belle arrived!

hedgie said...

Nap time here. BBL.

Hoda said...

In comes Belle to tend to the Chicks...Shep had poofed!!!

Linda said...

Belle walks over to 2, looking at chicks....

Wondering what to do next!

Linda said...

Rest well, my Friend ♥

Lolly said...

Lynn said nap, and the two eaglets fell asleep.☺

Mema Jo said...

Returned from doc - Z-Pak to take..
Dr is aware of Daliresp - the drug Red is on. He said he has had patients on
this and only 1 out of 4 didn't have any side effects. He said I could not go off of my Oxygen - This med would mainly take away the necessity of being on prednisone. It is totally up to me if I want to give it a try. I brought some
home and also the prescription for it if I decide to take it. Dr said it should be taken 4 weeks to see any
change

Lolly said...

Hey....I do have sound now! Rebooting did the trick!

Mema Jo said...

I am heading out at 5:00 with my gd, Taylor - Jenny's girl. I am going with
her to dinner where she will receive
scholarship money. I for years had
belonged to Frederick Business &
Professional Women's club and I urged
Taylor to apply for the scholarship
they give (she is a straight A gal and is completing her Jr College 2nd year. She called me when she got the call and was so excited because she said, Mema -I got a phone call and they want to offer me a scholarship. I told them yes! She has letter of acceptance to UNMBC. This is a happy time for me! ♥

magpie said...

Congratulations Jo and Ed and to your bright, lovely granddaughter !!

Mema Jo said...

I am putting my feet up for an hour before Taylor comes to pick me up.

Loving our two little snoozers
